NFL Playoffs Challenge Divisional Playoffs (Round 2) Results

Round 2 of our NFL Playoffs Challenge is in the books. The Divisional Playoffs gave us some great games, plenty of controversy, and also marked the midway point of our contest.

The NFL Playoffs Challenge is a competition where each contestant plays two Throwdown games per week of the NFL Playoffs (one game for Super Bowl), and we tally points for how well they performed in those challenges. Players earn 2 points for a win, plus 0.5 points if they win a challenge by 21 or more fantasy points. There is an also an additional 0.5 points awarded after the Super Bowl, for each time they drafted the eventual Super Bowl MVP in all of their Throwdown games in this contest.

We have 20 entries in the contest, prizes for Top 5 overall finishers, plus a weekly prize. Check the full rules, results from Wild-Card Weekend and now, here are the results for the Divisional Playoffs round.

Round 2 Standings

Our players had a nice push back this week against the Throwdown1 and Throwdown2 accounts. Throwdown1 continued their winning ways, going 13-7, but Throwdown2 could only muster 6 wins in 20 games.

Congrats – again – mikemar! He wins the weekly prize for the second straight week earning a perfect 2 wins, both by 21+ points. He wasn’t alone though, as tinmac matched him, but mikemar takes the top spot with a better combined margin of victory.

Overall Standings

As mentioned off the top, this is the midway point of the contest. There are equal points available for wins and margin of victory from now to the end as there were for the first two weeks. Even though contestants will only play one game for the Super Bowl, it is worth double. Plus, the Super Bowl MVP bonus points will be awarded after the Super Bowl for all games played throughout the contest.

Having won the weekly prize both weeks so far, mikemar has a pretty nice lead on the overall number one spot, but there are still lots of points to be had, plus we have prizes for the top 5 overall spots, so keep at it. Games for Conference Championships should be added Tuesday, and good luck the rest of the way!
